1. Traveling light is traveling free

We realize it every time we leave: we often bring too many things.
Before you fill your suitcase, ask yourself: “Do I really need this?”
A few simple clothes, ones you love and can easily mix and match, are often more than enough.
And most importantly, leave some space for what you’ll truly bring back: memories, encounters, sensations…

2. Plan, but not too much

It’s good to have an idea of where you will sleep, how you’ll get around, or what you’d like to see.
But leave the rest to life.
The most magical moments often happen when nothing was planned: a chat on a street corner, an unexpected detour, a sunset you’d never find on Google Maps.
Prepare just enough to feel at ease, and trust in what will come.

3. Disconnect a little

We all have a phone reflex: look, check, photograph, share.
But sometimes, just putting down the phone, looking up, and breathing is already a little journey itself.
Take an hour a day without a screen. Observe. Feel. Listen.
The world becomes larger when you truly look at it.

4. Observe before photographing

Before you take out your phone, take a moment to live what you see.
Look at the colors, faces, and sounds.
The photo can come later, if you still want it.
The most beautiful memories, the ones that last, are often those we never captured on camera.

5. Return changed, not just tanned

Traveling is not just checking countries off a map.
It’s discovering a little more about yourself each time.
It’s returning with a fresh perspective on yourself, others, and life.
Try to keep this openness, this lightness, once back home.
Because the real journey, ultimately, always continues.
